How to Cook Boneless Center Cut Stuffed Pork Chops

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless center-cut pork chops (Kurobuta or pasture-raised), about 1 to 1.5 inches thick
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs or panko
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped herbs (e.g., sage, thyme, parsley)
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries or chopped dried apricots (optional for a sweet note)
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
Prep time

Cook time
30 minutes

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Create a pocket in each pork chop by cutting a slit into the side, careful not to slice through the other side.
  2. In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, herbs, garlic, dried fruit (if using), and melted butter. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well until the stuffing comes together.
  3. Spoon the stuffing mixture into each pork chop pocket. Use toothpicks to secure the openings.
  4. Brush each stuffed chop with olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  5. Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chops and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). The exact time will depend on the thickness of the chops.
  7. Let the chops rest for a few minutes after removing them from the oven. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
